Apple Bans iFixit Developer Account and Removes App After Apple TV Teardown

Not sure how your response follows from my comment. I was responding to a comment that assigned some blame to Apple for deciding to give one to iFixit. My point was there probably was no human at apple who even knew iFixit received one.
Hogwash. And I couldn't care less. Sounds like you're on iFixit's BOD's.
The second part was not in response to your comment. I edited the two sentences so that the two comments are now separate.
I strongly believe that you are not somebody who can be trusted.
that's not butt hurt.. nor is it a diss on ios9.. they didn't say ios9 is riddled with bugs.. they said their app is.
as in-- you ever notice all your apps have an update at some point saying 'now ios7 ready!' .etc ?
that's because their app too was riddled with bugs caused by the new os.
it's normal.
Crap or not, we'll see if it goes to court. If you feel so passionate about it petition for a Friend of the Court concerning this matter if anything files.
I doubt it was shipped to ifixit. It was shipped to a dev user with a name, not a company. Just happens to be an ifixit employee.
So again... you don't care about facts, you just see people not trashing Apple so you disregard anything they say.From this:
We get this:
Based on the comment you made about iFixit preventing Apple's "planned obsolescence", it seems to me that you're so blinded by your allegiance to iFixit that you can't admit that they could have possibly done anything wrong.
You'd be far better off ditching Apple and going with companies that give you more freedom to tinker with their hardware. And unlike everything I typed prior to that, I say that without a hint of sarcasm. It doesn't even seem like you like Apple products- why not use products you actually do like? We have more options than ever in this day and age.
seems like youre fighting a fight that doesn't exist except inside your own head.
i mean, these aren't even fanboy type comments you're battling against.
chill out.
LAME. Apple needs some thicker skin.
EDIT: Oh, my bad. I didn't read the entire article...as usual. If this was a dev kit being lent by Apple, then yeah, they had no right opening the thing up. I've changed my mind

Haha, you're acting ridiculous. Just stop. You need to chill. This "entire forum" doesn't make up for all of Apple's customer base so I'm 100% certain Apple could survive without the tinkerers.
I've been swapping ODD, Ram and GPU's long before I even heard of iFixit. I've been on Macs for over 17 years. Don't give me that nonsense that iFixit is responsible for most people's computer upgrade knowledge.
They helped me in 1979... I can swear they did ;-), though at that time, there wasn't much to tear down, everything seemed pre-torn
.Also, they also invented the time machine, built out of spare parts from the Tardis....

I like OS X. I hate the hardware.
Hence Hackintosh. Read my sig.

So, ifixit is just a footnote in the market? laff.

I've signed more NDAs than there are letters in your post, and issued a lot too for my own companies, with the help of lawyers if that reassures you... So, I think I'm OK qualified; thanks for vetting us...
BTW, who are you an apologist for, the gods of non sequitur ?
You and me both buddy. All apple hardware I have bought has been horrible, or part of scandles like radeongate. All my hackintoshes have been flawless.
Out of interest does anyone know exactly what part of the agreement iFixit violated? If iFixit reassembled the appletv and then used it for development purposes with their little app, would they still be in breach? Or is publically reviewing/showing the device in any form enough to do it?
Sigh, someone said earlier that you're fighting a fight that isn't even happening. Please take heed to that post wholeheartedly.
EDIT: Looks like Apple didn't get a whole ton of money from you based on iFixit, Sir Hackintosh.
Understandable. I'm a big fan of both Windows and OS X. I prefer OS X and Mac hardware, but I'd still be pretty happy on a custom PC or XPS 13 with Windows 10. Nothing I use is platform dependent, so I guess I'm lucky in that regard.
But hey- as long as you're happy with what you've got, more power to you.
